Jesus, Jairus, and a Little Girl: A Study in Faith and Sight (Mark 5:35-43)
Join us as we continue our verse-by-verse Bible study through the Gospel of Mark. In this message, we dive into a truly unique and significant account in the life of Jesus Christ—the raising of a twelve-year-old girl from the dead. This powerful story is more than just a miracle; it’s a living example of what it means to walk by faith, not by sight.
As followers of Jesus, we often hear the words of 2 Corinthians 5:7, but what does it really mean to live them out, especially when the evidence before our eyes tells a different story? In Mark chapter 5, we witness several groups of people at a crossroads of faith versus fear and belief versus what is seen. There is Jairus, a man of high standing, who must choose to believe in the face of his worst fear—the death of his daughter. There are the nine disciples, who must choose to trust Jesus’s leadership even when they are left behind and seemingly excluded from the action. And there are the professional mourners, who are so certain of what they see that they laugh and scoff at the very Son of God.
This study explores the choices they make and how those choices either led to them seeing the power of God firsthand or to their exclusion from the moment. We see Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of God, prove His power over death, not for the sake of public display, but as a personal and tender act of love and mercy.
This video is perfect for anyone seeking to study the Bible verse by verse and for those who are looking for a deeper understanding of the Christian faith. Whether you are new to the Bible or have been a follower of Jesus for years, this message will challenge you to consider what you are trusting in. Are you walking by sight, or are you walking by faith in Jesus? We pray this message from the Word of God strengthens your faith and encourages you to trust Jesus with your life.
Explore the powerful lessons from Mark 5:35-43, and learn to walk by faith. This is part of our in-depth series on the Gospel of Mark and the life of Jesus of Nazareth. We are a Calvary Chapel fellowship committed to teaching the Word of God. This study is relevant for anyone interested in Christianity, spirituality, the Bible, Jesus, Israel, and the Gospel.
